Endogenous fertility in a model with non-dynastic parental altruism.
An economic model of fertility choice is presented and discussed in which the utility level of agents depends upon their consumption, the number of children they have, and upon the consumption of their children. Parents are altruistic toward their children, but in a more limited sense than in the fertility model presented by Becker and Barro in 1988, in which the utility of parents depends upo...
متن کاملEconomic growth and stagnation with endogenous health and fertility
This article offers a theory of economic growth, stagnation, and demo-economic transition that originates from external effects of childbearing, health expenditure, and education under endogenous mortality. Facing a hierarchy of needs, parents always consume and want to have a family. Child quality, measured as a two-dimensional vector of child health and schooling, becomes only affordable when...
متن کاملEndogenous Versus Exogenous Growth Facing a Fertility Shock
This paper simulates the impact of a permanent fertility shock on economic growth, using endogenous versus exogenous growth OLG models. An endogenous growth model, with education as the engine of growth, dampens the negative impact of a decline in fertility on growth when compared with an exogenous growth model. This result stems from the rise in education levels brought about by the expectatio...
متن کاملExistence of competitive equilibrium in an optimal growth model with heterogeneous agents and endogenous leisure∗
This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on some recent results concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and their representation as a summable sequence and a direct application of the Brouwer fixed point theorem.
متن کاملPay-as-you-go social security and endogenous fertility in a neoclassical growth model
This paper theoretically studies how unfunded pay-as-you-go social security affects economic growth, the fertility rate, and welfare in a neoclassical growth model. In addition, this paper considers a more general form of childrearing cost, which is a mixture of time and money. The first observation is that whether the fertility rate increases or not by the expansion of the pay-asyou-go social ...
